Women In Love
Women In Love
Stars: Alan Bates, Glenda Jackson, Oliver Reed, Jennie Linden, Eleanor Bron, Michael Gough, Eleanor BronDirector: Ken Russell
Summary: D.H. Lawrence's classic story of two intense relationships, set against the background of a small colliery town.
D.H. Lawrence's 1920 novel revolving around the torrid relationships between two sisters and the men in their lives is here well-adapted for the big screen by Ken Russell. Starring Jennie Linden as Ursula and Glenda Jackson in a galvanizing, Academy Award-winning performance as Gudrun. This is nearly overshadowed by the ambiguously sensuous nude wrestling scene between their philandering suitors (Bates and Reed).

Glenda Jackson has an affinity with cinematic adaptations of DH Lawrence & Ken Russell. She, Oliver Reed & alan Bates make this not so much a bonkfest as a simmering cinematic seduction. You know what to expect from a Ken Russell production & he does not dissappoint. Not to be watched with Gran in the room.

Before director Ken Russell's name became synonymous with cinematic extravagance and overkill, he actually directed what is one of the most passionate and involving adaptations of DH Lawrence in recent memory. Oliver Reed and Alan Bates star as friends who fall in love with a pair of sisters (Jennie Linden and Glenda Jackson, who won an Oscar for the role). But the relationships take markedly different directions, as Russell explores the nature of commitment and love. Bates and Linden learn to give themselves to each other; the more withdrawn Reed cannot, finally, connect with the demanding and challenging Jackson. Shot with great sensuality, Women in Lovewas surprisingly frank for its period (1970) and includes one of the most charged scenes in movie history: Bates and Reed as manly men, wrestling nude by firelight. --Marshall Fine
